I'm wondering how Surrogates will score on the Bruce Willis Toupeé Index - generally speaking, the closer the movie comes to showing his natural hairline, the better it is.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

After I saw the latter I watched every other Shirley MacLaine movie I could get my hands on. The Trouble With Charlie is one of my favorites.
Pssst, Harry.
I have a special fondness for that film since it's one of the few filmed in the Northeast Kingdom of VT, where I spent my summers growing up.

I thought that looked wrong. It's the funny Hitchcock!

Hell, North by Northwest has some of the funniest scenes that Hitchcock or Cary Grant put on film.

And Charade is the funniest Hitchcock movie not made by Hitchcock.
(And it was remade as The Truth About Charlie, which is likely where Laga got that name.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
man, that chud article points to how fucked up the process was to get the script right for Terminator. I can't even believe how screwed up the movie is knowing all of that background.
I now believe that the movie should have been written from the ground up by other screenwriters to have a more cogent story. It makes me wonder whether the tv show was going to go in this direction for John Connor as well.
